Lampuki on a cooked spinach salad

Ingredients

• 3kg fresh spinach
• 1.2kg fillet of lampuki
• Juice of one lemon
• 1 glass dry white wine
• 2 firm tomatoes, diced
• Grated rind of 1/2 lemon
• 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• Mint and basil, chop
• 1 teaspoon pepper, chopped
• Salt and pepper

Method

Wash the spinach very well and drain lightly. Cook in a covered pot with just the water that clings to the spinach leaves and a pinch of salt till done (approx 5 minutes). Drain well and when cool press to remove all the extra moisture.

Place the fish fillet into an oven-proof dish and cover with the lemon juice and wine. Season and leave to marinate for 1 hour.

Chop the spinach and mix with all the other ingredients.

Cook the fish, covered, in a preheated oven at mk 8/220 degrees / 428F for about 15 minutes or microwave on full power for 6 minutes.

Serve the fish fillet on a bed of spinach salad with lemon wedges.

Cooking time: 30 minutes

Oven Temp: gas mk8 or 220 degrees/ 428F

Serves: 6

(When lampuki and spinach are not in season you may use any other fish and frozen spinach instead)
